Imbizo: International Journal of African Literary and Comparative Studies is a scholarly and peer-reviewed journal of the Department of English Studies at the University of South Africa. The journal aims to foster critical debates on African literary theory, cultural studies, history and popular culture. The journal publishes original research articles, review articles and important conference proceedings on theoretical and practical perspectives that expand knowledge on discourses on the Africanisation of the processes of Africa's literary creations.

The name Indilinga stands for the 'circle orientation' of indigenous African communities which is exhibited in their material culture and behaviour. The journal has been motivated by the need for a dependable expression for critical and analytical writing on issues related to production, dissemination and recognition of Indigenous Knowledge Systems. The journal represents a variety of cross disciplinary interests in ethno-methodology and in qualitative methods. Debates on methodology, epistemology, ethics, gender, science and technology, arts, food systems, education, language and socio-cultural issues are invited. Articles are peer-reviewed.

The Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology is intended to provide scholars in the southern hemisphere with an avenue through which they can express their scholarship. The Journal also serves as a networking opportunity for scholars in the region as they undertake their research. Similar avenues exist in the Northern Hemisphere (Europe and North America). The IPJP is intended primarily as a forum for Southern African, Indian, Australian, Asian, New Zealand and Pacific Island scholars to discuss a broad range of phenomenological issues. However, contributions from Northern Hemisphere phenomenological scholars will also be considered. The underlying assumption of the Journal is that phenomenology provides researchers with a unique research philosophy which allows them to explore issues central to the question of being human. It enables the richness of human experience to be explicated. We particularly seek to support and encourage those scholars who feel the need for a further dimension in their research which enables them to explore topics whose import lies beyond the reach of measurement and calibration, and in areas such as human meaning, experiences, values, and truthfulness. We envisage the Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology as providing established scholars and students with an avenue for publishing written material and undertaking new exploratory research in areas such as social relationships, bodily experience, emotional sentiment, mental states, and the contemporary contexts in which these take place.

The primary purpose of this peer-reviewed journal is to publish materials on libraries, information supply and other related matters in South and Southern Africa. The journal welcomes contributions which address the needs of the working librarian and demonstrate at least one of the following:

A practical approach to library issues of general interest.

Original, controversial or even provocative viewpoints.

A critical understanding of the socio-political, educational and economic realities of contemporary South and Southern Africa.

These papers, published by the Institute for Security Studies, provides a forum for research in progress. It contains policy information that is of a more immediate nature than that published in either the African Security Review or the Institute for Security Studies Monographs.

IJEDA welcomes papers on African education particularly relevant to key theories of development about human capital, modernisation, politics, democratisation, capabilities, social reproduction, inequalities, dependencies, marginalisation, social control and violence, as well as key global developmental issues affecting education in Africa such as the roles of capitalism and socialism, green or sustainable development, religion, gender, international aid, the role of international organisations and agreements (e.g. the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child), health and HIV/AIDS, issues of access, quality and outcomes, conflict and post-conflict contexts, private education, culture and education, vocational education and employment, poverty reduction, corruption, disasters and emergencies (and humanitarian responses), globalisation, literacy.
